Introduction to Psychology provides a comprehensive foundation in understanding human behaviour, mental processes, and psychological development across the lifespan. This course is designed to introduce learners to key psychological perspectives and theories while explaining how psychology is applied in everyday life, education, research, and professional practice.

The course begins by exploring the major perspectives in psychology, helping learners understand how different schools of thought explain behaviour and mental functioning. Learners then examine social psychology, gaining insight into how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts, including the influence of groups, culture, and social interaction.

A core component of the course focuses on cognitive psychology and its real-world applications. Learners explore topics such as memory, perception, learning, and problem-solving, developing an understanding of how people process information and make decisions. The course also introduces child development, examining psychological growth from early childhood through adolescence and highlighting factors that influence emotional, cognitive, and social development.

The study of atypical (abnormal) behaviour provides learners with an introductory understanding of psychological disorders, patterns of behaviour, and mental health challenges, approached in an ethical and non-clinical manner. This is supported by a dedicated module on research methods, where learners gain essential knowledge of how psychological research is designed, conducted, and evaluated.

Introduction to Psychology is ideal for learners seeking academic grounding, personal insight, or preparation for further study. The course promotes critical thinking, ethical awareness, and evidence-based understanding, making it valuable across multiple disciplines and career pathways.

Upon successful completion, learners will receive a free course completion certificate. For those who require formal recognition, multiple premium certificate and transcript options are available for purchase. Learners also benefit from 5-star rated support available 24/7 via email, ensuring guidance throughout their studies.
